Mistake Fares, Merger Murmurs & Battling Bag Fees
About this episode
The episode discusses recent increases in baggage fees by airlines and offers tips on how to avoid them, along with news on Delta One and a business class mistake fare.
We’re shining a spotlight on baggage (both travel and emotional …) this week as airlines raised bag fees almost in unison. So the guys talk through what happened, why, and - most importantly - what you can do to avoid paying those higher fees altogether. Plus, we dig into some Delta One news, break down a recent business class mistake fare, and sift through some (ridiculous) United/American merger chatter.
